Perfect for all stays
We traveled from frozen MN to sunny AZ to celebrate my brother’s January birthday. The layout and amenities were exactly what we needed. There were so many great features to praise including the quiet office space, large bedrooms/shared spaces, the pool table, ample dishes for cooking a group meal, throw blankets for chillier nights, and so much more. Let’s not forget the pool, it was the cleanest I’ve ever seen!! (we couldn’t use because of the cold)Bring your family, friends, and kids. This location is a top pick!

We will return!
The house was beautiful and clean! When we walked in it looked exactly like the pictures and we felt immediately at home!! The beds were comfortable and we had plenty of room for the party that we had staying there. Communication with the homeowner was amazing and extremely efficient! I noticed there were two things that were a little misconstrued and they came out fixed them and it was no problems! I really liked the level of dishes and stuff in the kitchen, it made making meals easy. Of course our favorite thing was the pool, and the backyard had plenty of space for all of us to be comfortable even in the hot sun! The best thing for us was the location, as it was only 3 mi from the rest of the family that we were visiting there. I hope that in the future will be able to rent this home again!

Pleasant Experience
Overall we loved our time here. The check in process was quite simple. The house was beautiful and felt more like home than a vacation rental. Although we did not meet or communicate with the owner, the management company was awesome. They made everything from checking in early to staying another day a breeze. Yes, we loved it that much we extended another day with just a simple text message. There were a few things around the house that needed some touch ups but could easily be overlooked. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy home.

The Not So Golden Cactus
The place was decent. Plenty of space and the beds were comfortable. Good size backyard. We had a group of three adults staying for a six day work week. There were issues during our stay. Upon arrival the pool was green and unusable. We called the mgmt office and someone shortly thereafter arrived to clean it. Through the stay the water never looked clear or clean enough to use even after the cleaning. It was murky. In comparison the neighbors pool that was crystal clear blue. Halfway through the trip the gas was shutoff because of an unpaid balance. We couldn't use the gas stove for meals as we had planned and purchased food for and there was no hot water. Called the property mgmt and they said it would be taken care of the next day but that didn't happen. Two days after the gas was disconnected it was turned back on. This was the afternoon before our checkout. When the gas company turned the gas back on they couldn't get the water heater on because of a broken part on the water heater. The mgmt company sent a plumber who said a part was broken and he didn't have the parts to fix. So we didn't have hot water for the remainder of our trip. Through all the issues the mgmt company was timely to returning our calls. At the moment, we have a message left with them about a compensation adjustment for the inconveniences. This was something they said would occur when the gas incident happened. This was my first VRBO experience.

Nice property!
We stayed at this house with some friends! We loved that there was 2 living room areas, plenty of room for all of us! The pool was fantastic, the kids loved it! The way we drove to the property took us through a rough looking part of town which made us a little nervous but once we turned down the street the house was on it was just fine. All in all it was a nice place to stay.

Nice summer home
This house was perfect for me and my family the playground w/ swings in the back kept the kids occupied the whole time (plus the shed had extras like scooters and yard games) the rooms were beautifully decorated and spaced perfectly with more than enough TVs and seating for everyone to be more than comfortable we will absolutely be booking this home again when the weather warms up so we have a chance in enjoying the pool

Beautiful property
The property was beautiful and the house was clean. Seems as though there was a party before we arrived, but once we notified the hosts, they sent someone out to clean the yard. Pool lights didn’t work and the water didn’t look clean but we were told it’s serviced every week. Unfortunately, we didn’t utilize it. The issues were minor and again the inside of the home was clean.

Comfortable and reasonable
Common spaces, bedrooms, and kitchen were clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. Our family (husband and I, my Mom, 2 teen boys and 20 yr old daughter) enjoyed the 2 sitting areas, pool table, and games in the closet. Location was a little out of the way but close to main roads (Southern & Baseline) so it was easy to get wherever we needed to go. Pool had a fair amount of debris which we understand happens from breezes and trees nearby. Ran the pool cleaner several times to catch it all. Pool maintenance stopped by on Saturday and did some kind of treatment that left it pretty green and murky. We still used it and it was ok. Place had pool towels, plenty of extra blankets, coffee pods for the Keurig, a few basic spices, plenty of dishes, pots, & pans, laundry detergent and dryer sheets.
